First Thanksgiving

It is Kalista's first Thanksgiving!!

In honor of the day, she had sweet potatoes for lunch...or at least a dabble or two to taste. To shake up tradition a bit, we decided to go out for Thanksgiving dinner this year. No cooking...no messy dishes to clean...no hours spent tending to a turkey. Although we do miss the smell and aroma of food in the house.

Kali loves to suck her fingers nowadays. How tasty!

Matt usually has to work on Thanksgiving Day, so we decided to join him and partake in the Thanksgiving buffet dinner at Soleil at K with our cousins (this is the restaurant in the hotel). It was a fabulous spread of salads, main dishes and desserts. If we cooked the same amount of food, it may have taken us at least two to three days of preparation. The highlight of the meal was definitely the chocolate covered strawberries at the end. Just thinking of them makes our mouths water. Yum-o!

We truly wish we had the hallmark picture of Kalista with a turkey drumstick that everyone speaks of, but instead we have many pictures of Kalista enjoying Thanksgiving without the turkey. C'est la vie.

All in all, it was a great day spent with family and that's what matters. Happy happy turkey day!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!
